Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : But even if we could wave a magic wand and transform all of our cars, trucks and other modes of transportation, as well as the heating and cooling of our homes, to carbon-free sources overnight, the rest of the world is going to need fossil fuels for decades to come.
66% : The demand for oil and affordable energy is on the rise.
57% : By building LNG terminals and expanding oil production offshore and in Alaska, we could produce thousands of high-paying jobs.
54% : Trump won Iowa handily.
53% : The MAGA movement has scored a victory with the election of Donald Trump, but we must stay strong and focused on what is truly important for the American people -- equal opportunity for all, education, housing, food, justice and compassion -- and not what is important for the billionaire class that surrounds the incoming president.
52% : Now the CAR and Trump himself are going after her and the newspaper.
48% : I think most people can agree that we need to make the transition away from fossil fuels toward renewables and lower-carbon-emitting sources.
48% : -- Patricia Biron, ChicagoMany Americans are so very weary of political discourse right now.
39% : While I certainly do not condone such a thing (all we need is another war), I do remember at the time when then-President Jimmy Carter in 1977 signed off on giving up the canal to Panama, I did not think it was a good idea to give up our sovereignty over the canal, for the same reasons that Trump is now offering -- namely, security and access.-- Mario Caruso, ChicagoWe have a president-elect who is contemplating military action against two allies, Denmark and Panama, while we speculate on the cognitive abilities of the current resident of the White House.
33% : There are 80 million voters who did not cast a ballot for Trump.
31% : Before Donald Trump, this was never an issue that required discussion and was certainly not a subject for a headline.
